The annual Scholarship Drive will be held Saturday and Sunday, April 7 and 8. Freshmen, sophomores, juniors and seniors from Ripon High School and Lumen will canvass the community, going door to door for donations to the Scholarship Fund. All of the funds raised go directly to scholarships for students. Some of the scholarships are awarded by lottery to those students who participate in canvassing the community, while others are determined by merit.

More than $200,000 has been awarded by the Foundation since 1997. You may also mail a donation to the Foundation at PO Box 395, Ripon, WI 54971, or you may donate online.

Our mission is to change lives by expanding educational opportunities for Ripon students.

• Fund programs and projects that contribute to effective teaching and learning in the Ripon Area School District and are unable to be funded within the regular budget.
• Award a variety of scholarships to Ripon High School seniors who will attend colleges and technical colleges.

• Engage the Ripon community in giving of their time, talent, and financial resources in support of Ripon's public education.
